While I love getting news and scoops, life seems to have kept me from having the time for news and scoops. Sure, I remember the major things and tend to hear about them quickly, but I don\u2019t keep tabs on everything. Because of this, the reveal of Mickie James as La Luchadora was a major surprise to me!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I will often write about the value of experiencing wrestling with sincerity. I try my best not to become a bitter or jaded stereotype of a wrestling writer. Sometimes its a challenge. One of my favorite podcasts is the <i>Harry Potter and the Sacred Text<\/i> podcast that dares to ask \u201cWhen was the last time you treated something you love as if it were sacred?\u201d This question seems both resonant and will likely be explored by me at another time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For now, I\u2019ll talk about the very fun tale Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss were able to tell in the ring. I\u2019ve enjoyed this feud more than I imagined I would when it began. Alexa struck me as a challenger of the month, not a long term lead heel. I was wrong. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Becky Lynch has been one of the best babyfaces in WWE for the last year. She\u2019s been almost quiet about it. She hasn\u2019t been the headline player in the \u201crevolution\u201d story WWE has been telling, but she has been the most well-defined character. Lynch is the reason Charlotte found herself a year ago. Lynch helped bring the WrestleMania triple threat together. Lynch has been the anchor of the Smackdown women\u2019s division.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The addition of Mickie James to this mix is fantastic. Smackdown features almost every woman on their roster every week. They also feature quality wrestling. It will be nice to see James get a run in the new era of women\u2019s wrestling. She deserves it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>And now for some random thoughts:<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; While the main event of Smackdown was good, this was not a barn-burner of an episode, which is what we\u2019ve seen a lot of lately. I wasn\u2019t entirely enthusiastic about this entire show. Smackdown still isn\u2019t offering enough character development to their tag team champions, American Alpha. The Wyatt Family story with Randy Orton is still tough for me to pin down. Nikki Bella and Natalya\u2019s feud still isn\u2019t clicking the way it should.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; I found the segment with Jerry Lawler and Dolph Ziggler to be supremely awkward. Ziggler\u2019s new evil speech pattern feels unnatural. Bringing up Lawler\u2019s heart attack feels cheap. It\u2019s all a little too awkward for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; I have a new dream match I hope to see at WrestleMania. It\u2019s AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon. I didn\u2019t realize how badly I needed this match in my life until I watched the opening segment on this show. Styles vs. Shane is the new true dream match.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-2961990591\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; The Elimination Chamber returning should be fun. Having it happen before WrestleMania isn\u2019t my ideal creative scenario, but I\u2019ll take it. The Elimination Chamber remains the only regular WWE gimmick match I haven\u2019t seem live.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; Dean Ambrose and Shane McMahon have awkward onscreen chemistry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; This wasn\u2019t a great week for The Miz and Dean Ambrose\u2019s ongoing feud.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8211; This also wasn\u2019t a great week for featuring Baron Corbin, who could use some love as he bounces back from a loss with John Cena.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Got thoughts on this show or my review of it?
